Publisher's Summary

After the first season of her true-crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name - and the last hope for thousands of people seeking justice. But she's used to being recognised for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help.

The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town's golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make Season Three a success, Rachel throws herself into interviewing and investigating - but the mysterious letters keep showing up in unexpected places. Someone is following her, and she won't stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister 25 years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insists she was murdered - and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody seems to want to answer. The past and present start to collide as Rachel uncovers startling connections between the two cases that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved.

Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: what is the price of a reputation? Can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past? And what really happened to Jenny?

Another Megan Goldin masterpiece

I was so worried this couldn't live up to her other two novels, but I'm so pleased because I loved this one as well!

Good pacing, enough mystery, well written characters...I couldn't stop listening!

Highly recommend this and her others!!

Great story solving to crimes 25 years apart

Great story about 2 crimes committed 25 years apart and the intriguing cover ups from the past link to present day issues. The story started slow but it was hard not to listen toward the end. Great book
